Purpose: The book is intended to simplify pathophysiology through a conceptual presentation instead of requiring readers to memorize multiple disease specifics. This unique approach meets the intended objectives.

Features: This book approaches pathophysiology in a unique manner using a conceptual approach. It provides basic level content, noting pathophysiology, illnesses, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and treatment.
